electric industry, Maine PowerOptions has provided members with price stability,
budget protection, and savings, as well as information about important issues

MPO acts as an aggregator by pooling member electricity requirements, working
with suppliers to negotiate the best combination of rates and terms. We watch
market trends and track retail pricing to time pricing offers for members. Pricing
offers are generally available to members three or four times per year depending
on market conditions and members needs, unless requested specifically, each
price offer provides fixed price options only. Individual pricing offers are
available should a member require them, we can look at index-pricing,
incremental buying options and a broad array of other selections. Members are
never obligated to purchase through the program.
There have been significant savings opportunities for many of our members and
as the market continues to mature, the number of members saving through the
program continues to increase. To date, MPO has contracted well in excess of
13,000 accounts.
Since MPO’s introduction of “Green” electricity products in 2003, MPO has
worked with several members to secure ‘Green E’ certified agreements, working
with some to secure LEED certified purchases. MPO has actively worked with
members including: MSAD 60, Chewonki, City of Bangor, Maine Audobon,
Colby, and Unity College to meet member’s environmental leadership goals.
MPO has provided custom blends of electricity supply from an array of Mainebased Green energy sources.
Maine PowerOptions obtains member guidance through a representative
Institutional Advisory Council (IAC). The IAC helps MPO staff to understand
member needs and provides feedback on Program activities. Current market
complexity and potentially high market prices makes it more important than ever
that MPO Members have an unbiased non-profit partner helping them to better
understand the energy market and achieve budget protection and strive for
savings on their energy costs.
